Welcome aboard! Nice E36. The blackout grill makes it look stealth. You will find many members helping each other out with questions about maintenance, upgrades, etc... Let me guess, the Jag belongs to your better half......

Thanks! Yes the ford I mean jag is my better halfs. I like it and hate it at the same time. At least it looks nice. It looks huge next to my compact. I am very pleased with the look of the black out grills. I also just installed the mtech front bumper, mirrors, headlights, blackout grill and an armrest in the center console. I look forward to reading and helping out in any way i can on here.

Thanks for the nice comments. That feels good to know others appreciate what I've done to my car. My goal was to make people confused...thinking its an M3 then they realize its not when they see the rear end. Most people prob wonder what type of BMW it is. BMW actually released a version of the ti over the years it was available that had a front and rear Mtech bumpers but without the front lip like the M3s come with. I've had my car since 2000 and it had 48k on the clock and I now have 270k and its running like a champ. My plan is to see if it will make it to 300k and eventually drop an S52 in there. Thats been my plan for years. I just want to see how long the m44 engine will last and it doesn't seem like its gonna die on me anytime soon.

I love the coordination; shift boot and handbrake boot match so perfectly with the center control diagram for the heater/cooling and that shift knob really speaks to me.

For what it's worth, I think you should check to see how long the M44 will last you. You might get bored in the process though.
It really doesn't look like anything that has a stock motor. If I saw that in my mirror I'd think "hmm... is that thing supercharged?" as I've seen a lot of compacts supercharged. It seems to be a popular mod on that car... tell me, ain't it awesome to have a rear-wheel drive hatch?

If I hired you could you do something similar for me? lol

Oh thanks! I can't even remember where I ordered the shift and ebrake boots from. They are suede and I love them. The BMW zhp shift knob is a bit shorter and heavier than the stock one so it feel a lot nicer and faster.

I've thought about supercharging the ti but downing SC stopped making them. I'd be lucky to find a used one, but would rather do the s52 at this point. I have always loved hatchbacks. My first car was an 87 16v scirocco. I loved that car. I really enjoy the rear wheel drive, it handles so much better that fwd.

You can hire me to do what I did to my car for one of your cars. Just let me know.
